I had the great fortune to get to chat and hang out with Tom in real life, and he was a really great guy. That he should be gone is so deeply unfair. Words fail me. RIP EHK, you will be greatly missed.

Shit! I missed the sticked thread all day and couldn't believe my eyes when I saw it. It's still hard to believe it's true. Like so many others, I always enjoyed reading EHKs posts on any and all topics. I was actually wondering the other day why he hadn't posted a rant on the latest True Blood episode yet.

I will miss him, and I am very sorry for his family and those who knew him betteer than I did.

My wholehearted condolences to you and your family, Chris. I am so, so sorry that you had to deliver this news, but thank you for doing so. As you can see, EHK/Tom commanded the admiration and respect of most of the board for his eloquence, his take-no-shit attitude, his intelligence, his legendary rants and his love of beer. Mr. X and I even discussed trying to make it out to one of the beerfests that EHK used to go to every year, partly just to meet Tom and share a common interest. And now I've lost the chance to thank him in person.

RIP, EHK. You will be sorely missed. :(

Wow. I don't even know what to say. I saw a fellow boarder's Facebook status and ran here to see if it was true. This must be the first time I've cried over the loss of someone I never actually met in person.
